Emma Martin
Compassionate person-centred counselling
About Emma
Emma Martin is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on building a trusting relationship with each person she meets. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds a BACP credential, and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom.
Emma aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them and feel heard without judgement. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, grief, parenting pressures, stress and anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing career change, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and identity matters such as gender dysphoria. Emma draws on plain language and steady listening to help people make sense of painful or confusing experiences. Emma uses person-centred principles alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy.
That mix allows conversations to focus on personal values, practical goals, and small steps that build confidence. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to what each person feels able to manage. Her background includes several roles in the mental health sector in the UK and work supporting people who have experienced sexual violence and domestic abuse.
This experience has shaped her awareness of trauma and how it affects day-to-day life. Emma describes her role as accompanying people through difficult periods rather than directing them. She aims to be non-judgemental and steady, helping people find workable ways forward and notice change over time.

How Emma’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emma uses person-centred counselling to prioritise the relationship and listening. This approach means sessions focus on what matters to the person and aim to create a steady, non-judgemental space for conversation. It can help with grief, stress, relationship worries and identity questions.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to move forward. It is useful for issues such as addiction, behavioural shifts, and setting personal goals.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that build confidence and momentum. Sessions often concentrate on realistic next steps and what is already working in someone’s life rather than lengthy problem analysis.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Emma will discuss goals, preferences and immediate needs, and together with the person decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the approach can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Emma provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can fit around work, childcare and busy days. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, text or live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and video lets people use gestures and facial cues when they prefer them. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to keep up with.
